It'll be the Republicans who will do dump trump. They will do it when it best suits them. Pence isn't much of a consolation prize to me.

Lol. Way to insert Dems for Repubs. Do you suffer from alternative fact syndrome?

Of course it would have to be R's as well. Don't you think most of them would prefer Pence?
No doubt about that at all.

Trump's approval numbers would have to sink noticeably lower than they are - and stay there for some time - before the Rs would act. I'm sure their preferred game plan is to manipulate him as best they can, and live with what they can't change. So far, I think they're doing pretty well. They've backed him off full funding for the wall, off tariffs, off slamming Wall St, off universal health care, off NATO withdrawal (and isolationism in general), and off NAFTA withdrawal.

Can you come back with a bit more of a fact based, intellectual response as to why you think Trump is the answer to America's problems? Seriously, I'm desperate to talk to a Trump supporter that doesn't think in terms of emotional vs logical support. It's getting easy to spot the Russian trolls with heir hateful pro Trump rhetoric and I have my doubts about your unhinged retort about Dems. This seems to be an ongoing empty mantra.

Talk to me. Tell me why you support Trump. I need honest answers to understand the mind set, because honestly, right now, I just don't get it.

Its amazing to me that Conservatives can eat a can of worms and call it the best spaghetti they have ever had.

The republicans just got forced into a painful vote in the house that will cost some of them their jobs. I would not be surprised if they throw Trump under the bus in revenge.

I think Trump is going to be concrete shoes for the GOP so a part of me says "please proceed". I also find him and his family revolting so there's that. Ultimately, the GOP will overlook anything Trump does until it looks like it's costing them.

Yep. The only swamp-draining Trump has done is to funnel the goo at the bottom of the swamp directly into his administration.
